Hyper-V problem

dandan

I'm virtualizing Sophos xg firewall and I have a problem with it. The problem also happens with Sophos utm 9.3. The speed for the internet connection is at about 100mbs but my connection is 1000mbs. I connected using ssh and tried to change the speed with ethtool but the only option I have is link autonegociation. Also in hyper-v console I get a message that says integration services upgrade is required. Also I'm using the synthetic network adapter, not the legacy one. Can anyone help?

Thank you.

    Have you had any problems with the XG VM rebooting randomly? That's one I can't figure out. I even setup a syslog server to try and catch something. They really need to have XG start writing logs to disk. How in the hell can you ever troubleshoot a device that doesn't retain logs....

    No reboots. I let it run for a few hours to see if I can migrate from Sophos utm 9.3.

    Also meant to comment about the network speed on your original post, I only have 75mb internet, but between VLANs I can only get about 100m of throughput too. I'm planning to put it on a physical device soon and see if it gets any better.

    As for the seeing "integration services upgrade is required" message, I don't see that anywhere. I'm on 2012 R2 Hyper-V. Are you running one of the Server 2016 release candidates or something?

    Look at the network tab for that virtual machine. it says degraded. the same error happens for Sophos utm 9.3.

    Would you mind sharing your infrastructure topology? Sounds like you are being limited by a 10/100 switch, or dare I say even a damaged patch cable... Regarding the degraded message, that is because Hyper-V does not detect (probably because the Hyper-V virtual release doesn't have it) the Linux Integration Services installed. While I was reviewing this message that is what I came up with. But when I used the legacy network on the VM the status was OK. Although Legacy is unsupported, what I read in the documentation for Hyper-V support is that Hyper-V 2008 is the supported version not 2012 R2. Which is apparent because I had to use Gen 1 as the VM version. So when using Legacy NIC in 2012 R2 - is it referring to Hyper-V 2008 ? :)

    I have not performed any tests on speeds since I was messing with configuration options within the firewall, but if requested I could test it out tonight.

    Hi Dan

     

    I'm using HyperV 2016 and dont have any issues.

    What Nics are in the vm?

    Sounds like your using legacy nics and there only 100Mbit, try to delete one of the Nics and add a new one from the hardware list and see if that dont change it to 1Gb.

    You properly have to shutdown the vm first.
